by Brianna Crandall — September 23, 2016 — The Metal Construction Association (MCA) has added a new Retrofit microsite to its main Web site that expands information available on retrofit metal roof and wall systems, to assist and inspire architects, building designers, and facilities owners and managers who are considering renovating an older building to bring it to life again.
The information on the Retrofit “microsite” is available for free and includes many valuable resources for architects and specifiers including new white papers Benefits of Retrofit Roofing and Economic Stimulus via Retrofit, a new case study about Ivy Tech Community College, plus information on the benefits, applications, and suppliers of metal retrofit systems.
Retrofit metal systems have a wide range of design alternatives for existing roofs and walls, explains MCA. For roofs, they offer building owners and design professionals a multitude of choices ranging from low-slope functional systems for discharge or diversion of roof rainwater to high-slope architectural applications that upgrade the building’s aesthetic and appraised values.
For walls, there are just as many material choices that can bring that architectural quality to the curb appeal of a building, says the organization.
The Retrofit microsite can found on the MCA Web site.
